200th Post! (And a competition.)

As I sit here about to watch Wales versus England (AND WIN!!!) in the group stages of the Rugby World World Cup, I realise that I've been at this blogging business almost 4 years and am now writing my 200th post. Not as much as some, but certainly impressive for a lazy sod like me. So with me averaging almost a post a week and at the writing of this post having 111 followers on my widget-thingie I'm rather chuffed in this blogging effort of mine.

20 year old jersey still holding up. :)

Enough going on though. Meat and 'tatoes-wise, this post is a bit weak on substance as this week has been a tiring one at work and I've only managed to get the remaining 3 skeleton warriors finished of my original 10. Same recipe as the other seven and all together they do look rather splendid and Harryhausen-esque if I do say so myself!

Quick and dirty bone-boys

These chaps ain't got no back.

Group shot! Heroquest sorceror is happy cos he finally is seeing some action!

Now. With 200 posts and seeing other bloggers doing similar, I thought I'd put back into the blogosphere some and offer up a small contest for the occasion. So here are three prizes I plan to send out to three lucky winners, announced on.... oh... maybe Halloween (So my feeble memory doesn't have an excuse for forgetting.). All you have to do to win is be a follower of my blog, leave a comment and let me know just how much better the Welsh game was in the 2nd half compared to the Saesneg fumblings. You didn't have to have watched the game, just get creative. :) I'll pick three winners at random and will ask for email addresses once picked. Prizes will be one each and selected in the order that the names are picked out by those three. If you somehow feel you'd like to advertise this competition elsewhere, then leave a link in your comment below to said advert and I'll give your name a 2nd chance for the draw for these "fabulous" prizes. (I'll cover shipping, though I'll not cover any customs fees that might, but shouldn't, arise.)

Thanks all for following, reading and commenting on my posts. The pleasure through these 4 years has been all mine.

Congrats on hitting 200 mate. I'd also like to thank your team for such a lovely moving present! Couldn't have asked for a nicer gift a week before moving to England! Oh, that result is going to put a smile on my face for weeks ;)

Hmmmm while it wasn't nice to see 3 Welsh players getting injured like football players that game was just shocking for the English fan (AKA Me), but while Lancaster is in charge we can't play for toffy.

Congrats dude. Didn't watch the game - I was at the wedding reception of someone the Mrs used to work with. Don't worry about entering me in the contest, I'm just here to congratulate you on your landmark!

Just come here via the responsible one's link. Didn't see the rugby either, I've heard that it's loosely based on Blood Bowl, so I imagine the Welsh used their spiked gauntlets to pound their enemies to pulp.

Congrats for the milestone !I'm not a big rugby fan in general but I have to say seeing the Welsh in the second half drop their clothes off and starting eating their shoes to enrage themselves to engage in a war spasm was something that delighted me like few times before. There were a couple of actions including the ball that must have been of interest to connoisseurs too.

Martin Johnson in the wildes of Devon? Very upscale mate. Hope the pitch opening went very well. (Boris did knock over some poor Japanese child rugby player during his trip to japan, so not too much of a stretch.)
